| Abstract |
In recent years, hemicrania continua has become a well-recognized primary headache disorder known for its chronicity and resulting disability in a subset of patients with headache. The core clinical features have been well described: unilateral, side-locked headaches that are continuous (although interrupted by frequent severe exacerbations), associated with autonomic symptoms and a response to indomethacin. However, areas of relative controversy remain in its classification and diagnosis. Several relatively large case series have better delineated the associated features of this disorder, including atypical presentations. Recently, neuroimaging research has provided new insights into the underlying pathways involved in the disorder, in particular activation of the contralateral posterior hypothalamus and the ipsilateral dorsal rostral pons. Despite its well-known response to indomethacin, many patients still endure long delays in the appropriate diagnosis and treatment. There remains a need for new treatments given the morbidity associated with long-term indomethacin use. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 September 2021.
All research outputs
#6,937,459
of 22,745,803 outputs
Outputs from Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports
#362
of 914 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#83,179
of 305,719 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports
#8
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,745,803 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 914 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 305,719 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
